HMS Royal Oak was a Superdreadnought Battleship of the British Royal Navy and served in World War 1 and briefly in World War 2.
In the early hours of 14th October, 1939 and in the calm waters of Scapa Flow sits the Superdreadnought Battleship HMS Royal Oak. She was a veteran of World War 1 and fought courageously at Jutland but is now one of the senior ships of the Home Fleet.
Onboard is over one thousand crew, including over 100 boy sailors. The quiet Scottish night however, is about to be shattered by a hidden attacker with catastrophic consequence.
Lurking beneath the surface is German U-Boat U-47, captained by Gunther Prien. He has intelligence that several Royal Navy ships are moored at Scapa Flow and easy targets for his torpedoes.
HMS Royal Oak was launched in 1914 and entered service in 1916.
She was sunk at Scapa Flow in 1939 in the early days of World War 2.
